Physical puzzle books, memory toys and electronic games — grouped by who they actually suit
Guides to the physical side of brain training — puzzle books, logic books, memory toys and handheld electronic games. Everything on this site is free to play, so these exist for the times you want something off-screen: a book for a commute, a gift, or something an older relative can use without a tablet.
Best puzzle books for adults covers Sudoku, crosswords, word search and variety books, with large-print options separated out because they suit far more people than just those with poor eyesight.
Best brain training games for seniors focuses on large print, easy handling and gentle difficulty curves. Best memory and cognitive toys for kids groups by age rather than by brand.
Best electronic memory games covers the handheld Simon-style devices. Best logic puzzle books for adults covers grid puzzles, lateral thinking and the deduction-with-a-story format that Murdle popularised.
Products are grouped by who they suit rather than ranked against each other, because a large-print Sudoku book and a Rubik's-style electronic toy are not competing for the same buyer.
